When did Hollywood get weapons training?

I watched a streamed version of the movie John Wick last night...I'm going to go see American Sniper this weekend (I think it comes out this weekend) and one thing struck me.

When did Hollywood get weapons training?

I mean seriously!  There were a few over the top moments in the John Wick film but you could see that someone taught Reeves some things.  If what I've heard about American Sniper is true then Bradley Cooper got training too.

While I still believe Hollywood hates gun guys and the culture, we're seeing something fascinating and its going unnoticed.

They're actually working at getting it right.

Oh and a sidenote from the John Wick movie.  They emphasized integrating close quarters combat with actual hands on fighting.  We practice close quarters combat all the time, but we don't integrate actually fighting close with weapons in hand.  To the USMC's credit it does the best job currently with its MCMAP program but its still lacking.  Is close in combat mixing weapon and hands on lacking or am I offbase and missed a course that teaches it?
